Other News:GAYPRIL!It's April which means...Gaypril! We have an amazing aura of events, workshops, panels, and entertainers lined up to make this year the best yet. Due to the sheer number of amazing activities Q&A is sponsoring this month we will be putting regular Thursday social meetings on hold. This is because we want you to be able to attend as many events as possible!
Our exciting list of entertainer that will be joining us this year include, Kenyon Farrow, Fortune Feimster, and Bitch. Kenyon is an organizer, communications strategist, and writer on issues at the intersection of HIV/AIDS, prisons, and homophobia. Fortune is a comedian best known for appearing on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and E!'s "Chelsea Lately". Bitch s a musician, actress, composer, and performance artist.
The Educational Outreach Task Force will be hosting a number of workshops around campus throughout the month on many great topics including: asexuality, bisexuality/pansexuality, trans issues and how to be a trans ally, and a discussion on queer body image. Also we will be having a panel called Gay or Nay? which is designed to breakdown social stereotypes in the lgbtq community. Please check around campus for their fliers too!
